Retired General Frank McKenzie writes in a new book, “ The Melting Point ,” that he briefed President Biden in February 2021 on four military options on Afghanistan .
McKenzie : Biden picked the third option, which attempted to keep the embassy, American citizens and at-risk Afghans in the country.
McKenzie also writes in his book that the Doha agreement, signed by then-President Donald Trump ’s administration and the Taliban in 2020 , was “ one of the worst negotiating mistakes” by the U.S ..
McKenzie : Two presidential administrations shared one common policy objective, to get out of Afghanistan without regard to consequences: President Trump , President Biden .
McKenzie : The most important thing for U.S. military and military four -star generals is to be completely apolitical.
He says Iranian drones and missiles have been very helpful to Russia in their fight against Ukraine .
Is Israel 's battle against Hamas winnable? McKenzie : If they can fashion a way to a "day after" that makes sense, that doesn't involve constant combat inside Gaza .
McKenzie : I'm intensely sympathetic to the view, to the Israeli view, that you have to eliminate Hamas .
But you got to ensure that Hamas is not part of that equation, he says.
